Am most grateful for having 3 children and now grandchildren. Am grateful we own our own home in a good area. Very greatful to be alive and able to share my life with the people I love the most, my family. I've had a good life and thank the good man upstairs for taking care of me.

I'm going to be honest. 1.The Good Lord. because without Him, I wouldn't be here period. He could have said, Little Sister, it ends tonight, but he didn't. I am here because solely, he gets me up and keeps me living. 2. The fact that I am well enough to make a living and not depend on others for it. 3.Family and Friends 4. The beauty that I can see and the music that I can hear. 5. Peace.

Hello, I am an undergraduated student in China, here I would like to thank you for giving us such a topic which makes me spend time considering things of great help in my life. Parents, teachers, grandpa and grandma, friends, my home town, the university which I attend, the scientists who have made our world so beautiful, the politicians and so on, these are all that I need to be grateful for. Because I am only a student and I am still single, so I will not thank my children like you. Here I just want to talk about my appreciation to my parents. The first ones I need to thank are my parents, for they give me my life. Since the day my mother gave birth to me, my parents' lifestyle began to change, in a sense, from then on their life is full of me, I became the center of their life, that is everything they are doing is for me to a large extent including getting up early in the morning, preparing meals three times a day, working hard in the work place for a higher payment, etc. As a son, I can not imagine how much trouble they have undergone, how many efforts they have made. As a son, I feel obligated to requite their love whether I am still at school or I begin to work in several years. I will try my best to meet their eager expectation of me, making my behavior deserves their love.

my top five things I am nost grateful for are my son, withoutwhom I would be so lonely as an elderly widow, my eyes as I can see all of lifes wonders, my voice as I can sing and laugh, my apartment set in a garden where there are pretty trees and flowering shrubs and birds to warm my heart with their song.and fifthly my sense of serenity for it keeps me from feeling blue at times.

I am greatful for 1 - My mum, she is the reason I am here and never stopped going even when dad walked out, she has made me who I am today. 2 - My better half, he is my rock that always reminds me of the better things in life and keeps me smiling each day. 3 - My children, without them I would be nothing because they are there to remind me that I did do something right in life. I think remembering these things are improtant and I thank you for making me think aboout these things
